Justification:
As currently described, it is listed as Least Concern in view of its relatively wide distribution, and its moderately common occurrence particularly at middle elevations. It occurs in a number of protected areas, and it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category. This species is in need of taxonomic revision.

This is a moderately common species particularly at middle elevations (Heaney et al. 1998). There are several scattered specimens from Mindoro and one known record from Dinagat, neither of these islands have had recent or adequate surveys undertaken (B. Tabaranza pers. comm.).

There are no major threats. The lowland forested areas throughout its range have experienced significant deforestation, and there is continued deforestation ongoing, but the impact is minor to the overall population given the majority of the population is at higher elevations (B. Tabaranza pers. comm.). The local population of Dinagat Island is particularly threatened by mining (B. Tabaranza pers. comm.).
